X-Git-Url: http://git.shadowcat.co.uk/gitweb/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=eb1a5092cedc56e09684f2bb18507cb7a80dafdb;p=p5sagit%2Fp5-mst-13.2.git

avoid the use of ftime() (it does a useless, potentially
expensive call to GetTimeZoneInformation()); this potentially
also results in three more digits of precision from
Time::HiRes::time()
